Antonio Rapisarda
The Call of the square is strong. And on this there is raining. However this is not the main reason why half the Democratic Party today is square with the radical left of the executioner "No Berlusconi day." Why the choice of participation "tempered" by many managers, with the tam tam that has engaged the last few hours of testimony before all the anguish of a party the day after his conference is still to travel different paths in any order. And not on ethical issues or justice, but sull'aderire an event created on Facebook or not.
front of the square is again fatally syndrome of double-sided. On one hand, majority party leaders in calling on the other old party with the myth of permanent mobilization. Before the cameras proud of his profile alternative to the choices in front of timid, wavering. That is the decision of party president Rosy Bindi to take to the streets can be considered more of a sop to anti-political will than a political gesture of a great party reformer. Why, beyond the sympathy and good faith of the event, demand the resignation of Prime Minister Berlusconi ultimately means to express views and give comfort to the belly of the militants.
Yet this PD has everything it takes to dictate rules and navigation rules in the entire opposition. Because of the great party has the numbers, structures, managers. And then he just finished his troubled path Bersani conference where the new secretary (between calls neo-identity and the mantra "party discipline") launched the challenge of an alternative policy to abandon the ambiguity of the first season of the democrats. It would have been appropriate even before then repeat neogirotondini saying simply: "Your place is wonderful, but the Democratic Party calls and other acts in another way." But the first test of strength of the opposition within the same mechanism that has debased the direction Veltroni has come back on time-Franceschini: make dictate the line by Antonio Di Pietro and his populism way. The
risk of this is to revive a scheme that risk alienating even further the Democratic Party away from its natural vocation to pursue political marginality rather than challenge the Government, the myth of the square and the logic of the clash on the anthropological rather than the dialectic of what government programs. The idea, in short, that the Democratic Party you are still in limbo Preconvention is not entirely implausible. A party torn apart by currents but not so much within the projection that's self with the allies of the opposition and the government intends to legitimately defeat.
But be careful. This problem affects not only the Democratic Party. The same is true for the center. Where the perception that the Northern League will be able to dictate the agenda of many issues the government is not so much by the effective date of the Northern League on the political leadership, but from a PDL sometimes wavering when it comes to certain proposals to counter the alliance. So they seem to act as a trailer of the League in terms of the proposals. Pier Ferdinando Casini as well as with his project that seems to determine neocentrista excellent defections within the camps when in truth it is unclear which of these causes landslides.
Faced with this scenario, therefore, both the Democratic Party that the PDL will be seeking the same challenge: to demonstrate that the bipolar is not just a simplification tool on the ballot, but a concept of political culture. That the majority party, in terms of mutual legitimacy, they know to show the patience of the proposal rather than the anxiety of the protest. And in the name of a broad political vision is up to them, like it or not the squares, show that it can be a disaster for others. And a trailer for demagoguery.
